It's why so many now use "they" (or "their") -- and I find that more problematic than his / her or s/he

Bob is on point here. Ask any teachers, at least newer teachers, about this. There is research/science behind not using her/his as it can actually be detrimental. Now, many teachers do not use the words "boys" and "girls", rather they refer to everyone has students or other gender-neutral term.
"English does not have a gender-neutral third person singular pronoun." - this is open to debate, crazy debates too.
I think it should have simply said "...A1's stomach."
